wow man wow, i just read the whole thread.
now my eyes hurt from staring at the screen and my balls hurt from all the sexiness you put into this.
again your floor work is inspirational, I might redo mine. I recently did a poor one day job of sanding off rust, priming and installing carpet in my dart. Im a total car noob and so i really didnt know what i was doing.
I'm thinking of pulling my seats out again, doing a better job of getting ALL the rust off the bottom (I didnt have complete clean metal but left some pitting and a bit of surface rust in the nooks, is this bad?), pounding out two big dents I found under each of my seats, priming and sealing it proper as you did, and get my carpet to lay right next time.
I bought a dynomat and really dont know why, I think its pretty silly stuff (waste of my money), but im not sure.
I'd really like to see in great detail how you get your year one carpet in. I have problems with not much overlap between the front and back section and I front is not laying nice. From a laying point of view, and based on where the foot mat is, the front needs to move forward, but that would leave no overlap between front and back. the back cant move foward because its molded to have rear feet in certain spot.
I'm also worried about the bucket seats not going back in if I pound on the floor too much. I did a bit of pounding last time before giving up on it, and had a hard time getting the seat in on that side....
anyway, it was way cool to see the vid of u starting the car after all that work. congrates on car, mag, and all.
best of luck, I look forward to updates.
if I just read all of this tread, you can read this long post :p
peace
